Well, After about 9 days of hard labor, the new Stand is completed. I had help from my cousin on the skinning of it. Am hopeful to begin the Stand Swap on Friday. Any words of wisdom on doing a stand swap out there?

Below are some pix of the build. The inside is Kilnz and then a Qt of HD's - Behr's Semi-Gloss Interior Enamel paint. (purchased for only a buck, some one else's "opps Paint" but, the type and color were okay for my purposes.)

Thanks,
Aaron

    The tank is a 120 high, 60.5 x 18.5. The sump is a 40 gallon breeder at 36 x 18 x 16 high. It is a diy from plans Marc has on his site. Water enters on both the left and right sides, the left is adjacent to the protein skimmer, a remora pro and the right side is where the fuge is. I teed off the main return to feed the fuge with a ball valve for adjustment purposes.
    Thanks. Aaron

    Thanks Marc,

    I just completed the Stand move, while I didnt have the requisite 4 persons, I did have my son. I actually had some glass Suction Cups from Northern Tool that I use to secure my Hangglider to the front of my truck's hood and emptying the tank to a bare minimum of sand and water and pulling out 1/2 the base rock and all of the LR along with my creatures of the deep, into 2 Quarantine tanks, it appears successful. The Swap completed and all the water and rock back into the DT. I'll move the creatures of the deep in 12 to 14 hours, once the temp in the DT Stabilizes a bit more. Will post up some pix tomorrow of the new Stand, Sump and DT.

    Cheers, and Thanks,

    Aaron
